GoKawiilPentagon watchdog declines to probe Starlink/Starshield slowdown affecting Ukraine drones
The Pentagon inspector general's office rejected a bipartisan group of nine senators' request to investigate reported restrictions on SpaceX's Starlink and Starshield services used by Ukraine's military. Ukraine had reported that drones lost satellite connectivity above 161 km/h (100 mph) for about 10 days earlier this month before the limit was lifted. Inspector General Platte Moring told senators the Air Force and Space Force were better positioned to address the questions raised.
